I've got Terro baits at various locations, but there are still ants around, and I noticed them crawling in and out of the cat dish. This is dry cat food only, too. How do I make the food and water dishes available to the cat but out of reach of the ants?Thanks!

on May 21 we had the house tented and fumigated with Vikane to kill the termites. In the process it also killed every other living thing that was in the house at the time. (Of course we were out of the house for 3 days.) Since then, I haven't seen a single bug, spider, cockroach, anything - except a daddy-longlegs in the bathtub the other day. But nowhere near the usual summer spider population - even outside! Unfortunately the ants were not around at that time, they have recently appeared. We could add coverage for ants to our contract, which I think right now only covers termites. But I don't know how much it will cost. The ants are a problem here only in the summer - around Labor Day they disappear until next summer. You see them outside, but they don't come in the house, at least in any quantities.
